py2exe even achives this on Windows. See http://www.py2exe.org/old/ , and look at the section named "The bundle option". py2exe is able to load Python extensions (.pyd and .dll) from the zip-archive *without* extracting them to the file system at all. It doesn't work for the C runtime library msvcr71.dll though. Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
